* Making OCR work with perfect handwriting was happening in the 90s, it's not unreasonable to expect modern hardware to work with messy handwriting * Gestures should be intuitive, and if they're not they should be prompted * Size on paper != size in reality. The weight distribution alone can make two devices with seemingly identical dimensions feel very different in hand This is a fair critique of device, your comment just feels like a kneejerk defense of something you like. For the record I returned mine, I get it's meant to be a focused device but the value proposition is just not there, and it felt like a complete waste. It sits in the awkward position of doing too much to be smaller and cheaper and doing too little to take advantage of its size and computing power. No matter how much you value minimalism and paperfeel I'd easily recommend an iPad Mini over this. If you're a tinkerer making a distraction-free iPad is an evening's work. And if you're not a tinkerer the Remarkable is not that interesting
